Killed by Frost.

One OF the peculiarities OF this
northern country Is the occasional
appearance OF frost at night during
the summer. There is hardly a sum-
mer: when there Is not at least
slight frost, but 1t rarely is so heavy
as to do any serious damage. There
has been several OF these visitations
this year and so heavy as to do con-
siderable damage. DR.. Piper in
formed reporter yesterday that the
frost had almost ruined the wheat on
the higher lands about Peone prairie.
He states that there will hardly be
one-elghth of the yield of wheat that
there would have been had it n OF
been for frost. Early in the season
the prospects for a big crop were
never better, but there are many
things that may happen to destroy
grain from the time it is out of the
ground until ready for harvest. In
this section mentioned frost got in
its work for the first time in the
knowledge of the oldest farmers in
the country.

THE DATE FIXED.
The Washington and Idaho Fair Asso-

October 11th.

CihttOn's ENhibit To Commence
October 11th.
Pursuant to call by A. \. New
berry, president of the Washington
and Idaho Fair association, the di-
rectors Of the organization held a
meeting yesterday afternoon at
Booge e Reeds office for the pur-
pose of deciding upon the date for
the first annual exhibit of the asso-
citation and to transact such other
business as might come before the
meeting. The treasurer, Geo. *.
Reed, submitted his report and with
it his resignation as treasurer. The
report will be examined, and If
found correct Mr. Reeds resignation
will be accepted. In fact, the gen
tleman's withdrawal was accepted
and w. III. Taylor appointed to fill
the vacancy. 1t was decided to sell
40 acres or less Of the property adj
joining the fair grounds owned by
the association to the highest bid
der, bids to be accompanied by certi-
fled checks for 25 per cent. of the
bids. The directors decided upon
fixing the opening of the fall fair on
Tuesday, October 11th, to con, inue
five days. The association agreed to
appropriate $4,000 for racing purses
anu premiums, to be divided up as
the executive committee may deter
mire. The meeting adjourned to
Wednesday, August 3D..
The above is the sum and sub
stance of the proceedings OF the
meeting held yesterday, and settles
the question of holding fair. The
date has been fixed far in advance,
but not too far, as there is much
work to be accomplished to perfect
arrangements for the first annual
exhibition. The character of that
fair is assured in advance. The men
who are at the head of the move
ment guarantee that no money nor
pains will he spared To- make the
first annual IL fair long to be remem-
bered in Spokane Falls. The officers
Of the association will begin to work
at once preparing for the event, and
the citizens should lend their assist.
ance to carry out the enterprise.
The fact that the hremen's tOurna-
ment will be- held here ut the same
time will add to the crowd In the
city and help out the association.

County Assessment.

Assessor Strong has put In II good
summers work, and Is about ready
to turn over minute and carefully
prepared record of his stewardship
to the proper authorities. The as
sessment of u county as large as Spo-
kane Is no small undertaking, and
Mr.. Strong and his corps Of able as.
sistants have done q good work.
The record is an interesting one,
and shows that Spokane county Is
marching along In the way Of pro.
gress with other counties of the ter
ritory. The following figures are
furnished by the assessor:
Acres Acres ci,iS.;cd 4sss aass
Acres cultlVnteu....... Oto,
Value of i'm pleme 848, 1888
Nalueof personal property.... 1,ig7. 49,
Total assessed value.......... ..,,.,.. 394l ,635
This Is an advance Of nearly $780,
900 on the assessment of last year.
The average Of property assessed to
each tax payer In the county Is $1065.
OF the farming land held by deed,
homestead, pre-emption and other
wise, 16 per cent. Is In cultivation.
There seems to be general healthy
feeling In all kinds of business
throughout the county, and there
are very few men who do not report
an advance In their property during
the past year.

SUICIDE AT PORTLAND.
Miss Alice Cobb Shoots Herself-A Note

PORTLAND, April 80.
A sensational suicide occurred at ~ Green
street, at 2 o'clock TIN. morning, the victim
being Miss Alice Cobb, girl of "a, daughte r
OF Alvin Cobb, recently resident of Cape
Elizabeth. 1t is stated that for some time
past the girl has shown signs of insanity, ac
companied by violent fits of temper and other
strange actions. She was much agitated on
account OF having been accused of stealing a
pair of gold-bowed spectacles, and spoke re-
vengefully of her accusers.
pistol shot, and upon fore ing an entrance
to the girls room, found her dead on the
floor with ball through the heart The fol-
lowing note was fastened TO the v all with a
knife:
am not crazy, but my health is broken.
A dead woman's curse on all who have
wrOnged me. Father wants me to die; | Will
do so; but If my spirit can come back | will
haunt him until he dies. Take my letter to
Maggie for her to burn. am weary of liv-
ing and suffering. Father has driven me to
this. ALICE
Mr. Cobb said his daughter was unques-
tionably insane, and had been for some time.
He knew she possessed a revolver and deeply
regretted that he had never taken it from her
1t is believed that there is something more
sensational about the affair, and that a love
affair unsettled her reason.
